The Plan - Book 5: Consequences (The Plan (Five-Book Quinogy))

***THE PLAN - Book 5: Consequences*** The consequences of choices mix with the vagaries of chance in the conclusion of THE PLAN. Blends of tragedy, elation, trauma, vindication, regret, and karma in the prevalent storylines compete with new surprises for the reader's attention. A misguided plan turns to emergency desperation and and a calamitous edict. A manipulative plan leads to personal devastation. An intelligent plan and diligent work results in incredible wealth. *** Merciless cruelty, as a means to altruistic ends, sets up an elaborate ruse and ingenious deception, in search of humanity and justice. Pod Seniors deceive both superiors and subordinates to cover up a mutiny. Squad Officers set a risky short-term strategy for dealing with human enemies, but are ready for all-out war if conditions deteriorate. The Specialist's life ends after helping the prospector and his friends survive multiple murder attempts, but she still plans to have a future influence. *** Age-old themes, such as abuse of power, loyalty, betrayal, revenge, unintended consequences, and life goes on, get a new twist. Conflicts are resolved and much secrecy is maintained. The surprising origin of the perilous menace to future human civilization is revealed and faces consequences of its own. *** Is this the end?... Maybe.... Maybe not. *** *** *** THE PLAN, a five-book novel (quinogy) by R.W. Frazier, is a nineteenth century Western blended with a Sci-Fi vision. It is a story involving the formulation and implementation of plans; the evolution, the clashes, the contradictions, and the consequences of them. The storylines are compelling; the ideas and situations are stimulating; and the characters are unique, credible, varied, and memorable. *** *** *** Everyone has a plan. The plan may be immaculately structured, with incredible detail and a rigorous action schedule. It may be only a passing intention, barely started before being discarded at the first hint of inconvenience. The plan could be a mere hope or dream. It could be so vital that civilizations and cultures may not survive without it. *** The plan is never perfect. The plan is ever changing, evolving, growing or shrinking, perhaps succeeding brilliantly or failing miserably. Usually, the plan proceeds as a mixed bag of all possibilities. For everyone, the plan is life.... The ideas that each of us have at a particular time about how to get through life, how to make the most of life, how to enhance life, how to perpetuate life... or end it; that's the plan. *** *** *** Forlis Granger, a young man with a plan, arrives in western Wyoming in the summer of 1878. He is scientifically savvy and financially fit to spend a year or two prospecting for gold. Now alone in the world, Granger is intent on success for himself and for others with whom he can build relationships. *** The potential fallout from Granger's plan alarms a hidden group of civil servants in deep space. They must act to thwart it. Another secret group loves Granger's plan of action. An ambitious competitor has a plan that will upset Granger's in a different way. There are plenty of Granger supporters, but vicious foes, too. The known natural dangers from man and beast are formidable; the other threats are more sinister, but with altruistic motive. *** The variety of activities and situations will have you living the story from different character perspectives, admiring, despising, loving, empathizing with or seething at other characters. Concepts and descriptions presented will tickle your imagination. Clever problem solving and technical details bring the situations and activities to life. Embedded dashes of humor and surprises add to the entertainment.... THE PLAN. You will be glad you read it.
